Ham radio is both a fun hobby and a useful skill to have during emergencies or for event coordination. This class will familiarize you with the basic knowledge necessary to pass the 35 question exam for the entry level (Technician) ham radio license. Session 1, which is given a week before the ham exams, will cover the basic technical background as well as strategies for learning the answers to the rote-memorization exam questions, and will also include some short presentations/demos on "fun things that you can do with your ham license." Session 2, which is given on the same day as the ham exams (see w1mx.mit.edu for more information), will be a more focused and fast-paced comprehensive overview of the test material. Attendance at both sessions is recommended, but not required.

Teams comprised of 2-5 students will compete in an System on a Chip (SoC) design competition using FPGA development boards. The goal of the competition is to design an FPGA-based processor with associated peripherals and memory components around a provided ARM Cortex-M0 DesignStart core, along with associated software to demonstrate a correctly working system. The competition will use Digilent development boards with Xilinx FPGAs. Example themes will be provided, but the competition will be
completely open-ended and teams are encouraged to use their own ideas for their systems. Lectures and workshops will be provided by ARM, Xilinx, Digilent, and MIT during the first week of the competition to get teams started. This is the first ever processor design contest using a full
instruction set compatible ARM core.
Final Presentations, 2/3, 4 PM, 32-141.
